2nd DEGREE BURNS

It is necessary to differentiate two possibilities:


peau2degre

On the one hand, a superficial burn of the 2nd degree where the epidermis and part of the dermis are damaged. The pressure of the plasma leads to blistering; the wound is red and moist. These injuries are very painful given the irritation of the nerve endings.

Subject to effective monitoring and good evolution, this 2nd degree burns can heal spontaneously. The risk of infection is greater than in the case of the first degree burn.

 

 

peau2pdegreOn the other hand, the second degree burn where the epidermis and a large part of the dermis are damaged. The appearance of the skin is either drab or bright white. The sensation of pain is attenuated because of nerves endings damage.


The healing period is longer. The skin will later be of poor quality with the risk of hypertrophic scarring. In this case, surgery may be necessary.
